'03Camry_U (L/O 0301) If the electrical power source has been disconnected from the multi −information display, the display will automatically be set to the initial mode. When the instrument panel lights are turned on, the brightness of the display will be reduced. Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following cases. 3. Driving range ("RANGE MI" or "RANGE KM") The distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of remaining fuel and past fuel consumption. The driving range display indicates the approximate distance that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches "E". It is different from the actual distance traveled. The displayed value is updated every time the fuel equivalent for 1 mile or 1 km is consumed. Every time you refuel the vehicle, the calculation is reset. The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road conditions. If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will be longer. If fuel consumption is poor, the driving range will be shorter. If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel even if the display indicates that the vehicle can be driven further. D When the vehicle is stopped with the engine running, the display will indicate the extremely high fuel consumption. D When the vehicle is driving down a long slope, applying the engine brake, the display will indicate the extremely low fuel consumption. The calculation is reset when the ignition switch is turned off. 2. Average fuel consumption ("AVG. MPG" or "AVG. L/100 km") Average fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on total driving distance and total fuel consumption with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds. To reset the calculations, push and hold the "MODE/RESET" button for more than 1 second. CAUTION Do not adjust the display while the vehicle is moving. Be sure to adjust the display only when the vehicle is stopped. 1. Instantaneous fuel consumption ("MPG" or "L/100 km") The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on distance and fuel consumption for 2 seconds with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds. 174 2003 CAMRY from Jan. '03 Prod. (OM33593U)
